Its time for me to change jobs, but My CV stinks. Its amateur and tries too hard. There’s a mega cesspool of advice out there on how to write a killer CV. Much of this reeks of the assumption that potential employers will be impressed by pretentious over-inflated buzzwords that attempt to make you shine but I would imagine achieves the reverse. The easy way out would be to have an option of working from a decent resume template, but quality and variety are few and far between, with most of the obviously available freely downloadable ones falling into the category of the overinflated buzzworld where one speaks of one’s impressive nothingnesses in third person. But there’s hope, after much searching, I’ve found this website thats fantastic, providing detailed brilliant step by step advice on putting together your resume. Whats more, they also provide a wide variety of free templates for download and advise on when to use which type. Brilliant for someone like me who hasn’t had much experience in the last few years applying for jobs. Click on the image below to go there!

Africa is fucken expensive for Africans. Remember that when you bargain with local people who are trying to make an honest buck with honest sweat. Bargaining is fine, but be reasonable. Do you really expect an African to subsidize you?

Back in the day, South African people fighting and longing for freedom wondered why the world didn’t care. Now we know, because now WE don’t care. Well, we say we do. Like millions of people expressing their disgust at the lack of humanity shown by people captured unknowingly on a camera secretly filming them while they shrug off a person posing as poor and homeless. Yes, we behind the computer have the worst of judgement when dead babies wash up on beaches because the government of who knows where decided to stop rescue efforts. This from the safe spot behind our computers. But I ask you, what would you do if someone forced to flee their country in distress pitched up on your doorstep? We are all guilty.

This is somewhat of a crown birthday, a milestone. My age finally matches my waistline. Grateful for a good life, good people. For a healthy body and mind. Life’s a piece of art in progress. Lots of pieces put together, never perfect, jagged unmatched edges coming together in the end, with cracks.

The founder of Chobani Hamdi Ulukaya will donate most of his wealth, at least 700 million dollars, to help the Kurdish refugees as well as refugees from all around the world.

With his statement on Thursday, Ulukaya announced that he is going to join the Giving Pledge, the funding system the riches donate half or their wealth, by building a new foundation called Tent. “I have always planned to give most of what I had. Growing up, I watched my mother give to those who needed and it came from the most amazing place in her heart,” Ulukaya said.

One of the biggest American companies Chobani, founded in 2005, started making Greek-style yogurt in 2007, in Upstate New York. Within his family’s farming background, Ulukaya used his experiences to create a great opportunity to build Chobani.

Having read so much witless shit about the migrant crisis, some of the particularly ill-informed, paranoid and hate-filled comments have made me wonder if we should be sending migrant boats full of our own unwanted citizens across the Mediterranean in a sort of reverse-journey.

I don’t think I can bear to hear or read one more paranoid alcoholic blogger prattling on about the ‘conspiracy’ to ‘wipe out the white race’; it was funny at first, but we’re way passed levity by now.
